SCCA – KCR Event # 9: The Real Event 9

The Kansas City Region SCCA had another great event at the Metropolitian Community College on August 11th. Another wonderful day of weather made for a great day all around. With 108 entries we had our largest event of the year, topping our first event of the year by 3 drivers. The event was run by chair Jeff Bartz and co-chair Rygh Galloway. Jeff’s statement about the

course was that he wanted to “mix things up from what we normally see”. Well you could say that the course was a mix up from our norm for sure. It involved a 180 degree turn around at the end of a slalom and a double sided gate just before the finish. Competition is heating up in many classes as the season reaches the home stretch. Some of that competition came out today as drivers are fighting for every point they can get to either stretch their lead or close the gap to find themselves in the trophies at the end of the year. Some of the best competition of the day came from the G-Prepared class where Andrew Martin and Bill Cutrer battled back and forth between runs. After run 1 Cutrer was ahead about 4 tenths in raw time and about 4.4 seconds total due to Martin tagging a pair of cones on course. Martin returned the favor one run 2 by pulling about 1.8 seconds ahead of Cutrer. Run 3 was another flip flop, Cutrer jumped ahead by about 3 tenths. However on run 4 Cutrer could not better his time and he left the door open for Martin. Martin put together a great run and pulled ahead by 4 hundredths of a second to take the win in G-Prepared.

STX was another class that had even closer competition. The competition was between Doug Hitchcock and Chuck Wilson. Both Hitchcock and Wilson were dirty on their first 2 runs. Each had raw times of 64.0, but would they be able to run those times while clean? Both Hitchcock and Wilson managed to be clean on run 3, however they had to sacrifice time in order to get a clean run. Hitchcock managed the better time with a run of 64.322. On run 4 Hitchcock dropped his raw time to a 63.4, but hit 2 cones to add 4 seconds to his time. Wilson managed to drop 6 tenths off his time on run 4 for a time of 64.320. Just enough to edge Hitchcock out for the win by .002 seconds.

The Pro class was also a very close race. In the end Craig Wilcox managed to hold off Mark Hill to win the Pro class by .033 seconds.

Event 9 PAX was also won by Craig Wilcox with a PAX time of 50.881 in his 2008 Audi TT. Second place goes to Mark Hill in his 2006 Mitsubishi Evo with a time of 50.914. Third place PAX goes to Jeremy Salenius in his 2008 Mini Cooper S with a time of 51.258.
